Some Thoughts on the Obstacles to China's Accession to the Rome Statute - National Sovereignty and Human Rights

China is the only permanent member of the UN Security Council that neither signed nor ratified the Statute. What are China’s worries? Why are those worries? Are those worries necessary? And could those worries be overcome? An in-depth research on those questions is not only very useful within China, but important to the universal implementation of the Statute as well. This paper explores Professor Linling Yue’s thoughts on why China has yet to ratify the Rome Convention.
